Intraarticular Osteoid Osteoma Associated with Synovitis: A Possible Role of Cyclooxygenase-2 Expression by Osteoblasts in the Nidus

Abstract: To clarify the condition of development of synovitis associated with intraarticular osteoid osteoma (OO), expressions of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein and its messenger ribonucleic acid were investigated both in the nidus and the synovial tissue using immunohistochemical and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analyses. Diffuse and strong COX-2 immunoreactivity was found in osteoblast-like tumor cells in the nidus of all six cases of OO (three of six cases were intraarticular OO associated with … Show more

“…9 The release of cyclooxygenase-2 by osteoblasts of the nidus causes synovitis in the setting of intra-articular OO. 10 The inflammatory response of the synovium may promote proliferation of chondrocytes with angiogenesis and promote migration of mesenchymal cells in the subchondral bone. These changes may ultimately lead to development of secondary osteoarthritis and joint destruction.…”

“…Osteoid osteoma, which is histologically similar to osteoblastoma in several aspects, also causes this inflammatory phenomenon, and in younger patients it tends to be associated with more extensive peritumoral edema (5,6). COX-2 expression, which is largely induced by inflammation, plays a key role in the activation of the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway and the production of PG (7,8). This finding on imaging is misleading and may cause overestimation of the tumor size and misdiagnosis of malignancy.…”
